ALLLLLL of that. His idea of leadership is putting his index finger in his mouth, removing it, and using the diminishing moisture to determine which way the wind is blowing...

And I hope that people don’t get amnesia and pretend like white folks weren’t showing out over that sandwich EVERY BIT AS MUCH as black people were. I appreciate your point, but the “pull your pants up” angle missed the mark. If you’re smart enough to advocate for #Buy(ing)Black, you’re smart enough to recognize that…
Don’t. Don’t take their word for it. The gap between what comes out the window and what you might’ve seen on the commercial is as large as anything in the fast food game. I’ve never understood wanting any fast food enough to become a news story after the fact, so the reaction to the Popeyes chicken sandwich seemed…
His take was dumb bullshit. Your response to it isn’t actually responding to it though. You’re criticizing a point he didn’t make when you can just directly address his dumb bullshit. Join the pointless pile-on.
“...fuck outta here with that shit!”
This site? Really? This site? You’re kidding, right? You do understand that a simple Google search will reveal “Florida Man” merch, an old Lovelines segment, and a whole episode of the television show ‘Atlanta’ dedicated to the mythical “Florida Man,” right? Maybe you’re the one with the narrative...
You’re on to something here, and I think part of it is the tension between consumer culture and Internet culture... Step through a portal with me:
Imagine consuming media in a world where there was zero reporting on casting. Imagine consuming media in a world where you had no idea if a character was appearing in a…
Hallelujah and Amen.
“Sylvie’s big plan to save herself and Loki was just for B-15 to show up at the last minute?”
I think you misunderstood something about their circumstances by that point: I don’t think Sylvie had a big plan after Loki Hermione’d them to Lamentis. She literally realized as soon as they arrived that they were effed becaus…
You’re a copy editor away from demonstrating a better grasp of how to write about this show than the original post...
And if you don’t go in trying to figure out which characters you’re expected to empathize with, how do you consume anything that isn’t straight action, gameshows, or sports? I can still watch the World Series when the Tigers suck. Why would I watch the Tigers if I don’t care about any of their players and don’t…
I understand that read, but that’s not what I got from it. I think part of the impression we’re supposed to be getting from the musings of Ravonna and more so Mobius is that the way humans would look at time - mundane shit and major life events - isn’t the way that an effectively immortal being would look at time...…
Said but not shown. We don’t have any idea how capable the TVA actually is or how relatively mighty their struggles with the Titans were... We’re just seeing them being wrong-footed for their arrogance. That’s happening because Sylvie knows something that her pursuers don’t know. It makes more sense than you think it…
Here’s the other thing about incest: There’s a difference between diddling someone you fell in love with after meeting them in a bar during a conference (and later finding out that you’re long lost cousins) and diddling someone you fell in love with over the course of the first 16 years of your intertwined lives...…
“From their perspective, Loki and Sylvie could just be hiding out planning their next assault.”
Not only was this what could be happening, the operating assumption by everyone involved was that it’s exactly what WAS happening. Ravonna basically assumed that Loki was - true to form - stabbing Mobius in the back.
I didn’t watch Lost, but I think the opposite is also true: People are disappointed when their predictions are wrong, they’re disappointed when their predictions are right (I’ll never understand this), and they’re disappointed when comics-knowledgeable people make “predictions” about the arc based on existing source…
I might be crazy, but after multiple appearances in multiple movies, I think they’re expecting us to already have seen and understood “how lonely/evil/flawed/petty/narcissistic he is” without showing us (again) because they’ve shown us on literally every other occasion. I mean, don’t get me wrong, if someone is only…
“[T]he chain-reaction time bombs really amounted to nothing despite the incredible build up” only if you’re not taking at face value what this show has been telling us about Loki(s) since the very first episode:
How they see themselves is not aligned with how they fit into the bigger picture around them, but they…
There is a strong need for some collective adjustments to how media reviews and recaps play out. For example:
Seriously, though: This is where Courtney Love was in her life the year Olivia Rodrigo was born...
